1.06. It wasn't coming back around. Tried to trade down again but couldn't. Was rebuffed by the most obvious trade partner, 1.08, who was outside of the big seven and had a second rounder, unlike 1.09, who didn't. I didn't want to move back to ten. That would have possibly been too far.
Nope. CeeDee went at 1.04. But I made sure to comment in MFL's comment box about Al Davis and speed. Figured I'd do the great man some justice.
I typically only have soft rankings at this point & my decision was made for me with both CeeDee & Jeudy off the board.
Yeah. I knew I was taking Ruggs because I want to see him play on Sundays with a fun rooting interest. I figured I had an almost overwhelmingly good chance of getting him. So cool. It's done.
The person who took CeeDee at 1.04 is a smart man.
Word. Despite my doubts about CeeDee, for a while when I was running mocks he and Swift were being used as my 1.01 (pre-draft). That said, I've been such a shill for Ruggs the past few weeks it's sort of embarrassing. I hope he has a nice, long pro career along the lines of T.Y. Hilton or Isaac Bruce, both of whom have been used as hopeful comparisons. It'd be nice not to run the same five highlights on a loop, which is kind of amusing at the end of it all.The person who took CeeDee at 1.04 is a smart man.
Liked the Ruggs pick. I have him in the Devy league there.
This is nearly word for word what people were saying about John Ross after he blew up the 40 yard dash.
I didn't like Ross & traded out of a late-1st that year when he was on the board & considered value.
I don't remember it this way. Most people still thought Ross was a marginal receiver, to my recollection.
There seems to be a rather large logical fallacy in this argument, but I can't name it in Latin off of the top of my head, so I'll kind of look at it and shake my head "no."

Because they were wrong once, they're wrong again? That seems like a weird logical progression.
In the past year, leg injury, concussion and the aforementioned hammy (?) at the Combine.
Picking 1.13 and this gives me hope I have a shot at him. Both QBs should go in first in this league (non-SF). But honestly seems like all the late first WRs - Rigs, Mims, Higgins, Pittman - are relly solid.
I think Carr will stick to Renfrow and Waller most this season. That is his comfort zone.
You could still have a logical fallacy even if the results ultimately prove you right. There’s a such thing as “bad process with good results” as well as “good process but bad results”.
Very easy to slide him into that role. I get it.
I also have a similar line of thinking to EBF. About pretty much everything he said. Especially the straight line speed vs. agility, a minor point but a huge one when one considers results at the NFL level. I obviously took Ruggs III at the 1.06 but tried to trade down to about eight or nine and pick up a pick because of the top seven consensus tier this year, but to no avail. I feel like 1.06 was too early, but that's cutting it really finely. He certainly was worth a first-round chance in a twelve-team 1 QB standard or PPR or PPR/IDP draft, the last of which I was drafting in.
